FKFPL Posta Rangers taste sweet three points after downing Nzoia Sugar
Posta Rangers' inspiring performance in the second-half proved pivotal as they beat Nzoia Sugar to maintain their lead at the top of the FKFPL table ahead of the international break.
A much-improved Chelsea performance earned them the West London bragging rights and, with Broja in attack, they had a focal point to aim for.
“ I think Broja has amazing potential. Now it's about how he recovers from this injury and long period he was out.
“ He is a very talented player, we trust him, that's why he played against Fulham and maybe tomorrow. Now he needs time to feel complete. If not his body, in his mind also. It sometimes also affects your mind.
“ He is in a very good mood, a very good way, working really hard and I hope he can improve in the next few weeks and be a player that we really trust.
